Remember that we do not talk here for a dump LED but for a smart controller inside a led and this controller can be anywhere in a LED chain. Also this controller in an RGB LED controls its color and...

Ok. As I just occasionally delve into projects, you can understand my surprise that a friggin' LED albeit RGB is such a hassle. Had it in the back of my mind that driving them would be the easy part....

I agree, The APA102C's are the easiest to use. Here is a SIMPLE example: Also you CAN'T allow any interrupts during the NEOPIXEL data stream or all earlier data sent in the stream will be lost. With...

AMICUS18

Amicus is a multifunction development system inspired by the popular Arduino board, however, the Amicus board uses a Microchip PIC® microcontroller instead of an Atmel AVRtm type.

Comprehensive documentation and a helpful and friendly support environment, make using Amicus18 an easy and enjoyable experience for beginners and seasoned programmers.Forum Moderator Mackrakit (Dave) very kindly ported the Proton BASIC Compiler code over to PBP3 and modified the original AMicus18 docuemts for PBP3 users.

Hi,
I don't know what the "best" way to aproach this actually is. I don't think me posting hundreds or thousands of lines of code is going to actually help others that much and I don't think I'll get much out of it either.

Instead I think I'll post snippets and routines, explaining what they do (or at least intend to do) and why. This way I think it's easier to tag along, one step at the time and, which is important,
